Crisscross heart is a very rare congenital heart defect, and results in many different symptoms, even though the heart still has the ability to perform its major function of pumping blood throughout the body. Individuals who have this disease will experience cyanosis which is a blue tint to the skin because of inadequate blood flow to the body ...
Aug 27, 2002 · To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Araoz et al 1 and its description and beautiful three-dimensional (3D) images of a rare criss-cross heart. The 3D gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) images clearly demonstrate the complex anatomy, in particular the relationship between the crossed atrioventricular pathways.

- Healthy Heart Function. A normal heart has valves, arteries and chambers that carry the blood in a circulatory pattern: body–heart–lungs–heart–body. When all chambers and valves work correctly, the blood is pumped through the heart, to the lungs for oxygen, back the heart and out to the body for delivery of oxygen.
- Aortic Valve Stenosis (AVS) A valve from the heart to the body that does not properly open and close and may also leak blood. When the blood flowing out from the heart is trapped by a poorly working valve, pressure may build up inside the heart and cause damage.
- Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) A "hole" in the wall that separates the top two chambers of the heart. This defect allows oxygen-rich blood to leak into the oxygen-poor blood chambers in the heart.
- Coarctation of the Aorta (CoA) A narrowing of the major artery (the aorta) that carries blood to the body. This narrowing affects blood flow where the arteries branch out to carry blood along separate vessels to the upper and lower parts of the body.
Crisscross heart (CCH), also called superoinferior ventricles or upstairs-downstairs heart, is a complex, hard-to-decipher congenital anomaly that has been characterized as the “Rosetta stone” of congenital heart disease.

Mar 16, 2018 · Shi-Joon Yoo. Originally published 16 Mar 2018 https://doi.org/10.1161/CIRCIMAGING.117.006891 Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging. 2018;11:e006891. Abstract. Hearts with double outlet right ventricle are a heterogeneous group of malformations in which a comprehensive diagnostic approach is required for tailored surgical management.
Jan 1, 2018 · 1. Introduction. Criss-cross heart (CCH) is a rare congenital anomaly of cardiac rotation resulting in crossing of ventricular inlets and drainage of the atria into contra-laterally located ventricles. 1 The atrio-ventricular (AV) and ventriculo-arterial (VA) connections can be concordant or discordant. 2 There can be either side-by-side or superior-inferior ventricular arrangement (superior ...
